Our winners today

🥇 Seven magnificent Rila lakes Bulgaria by @dragan1957

In my country, there is a lot of talk about the beauty of the Rila Mountains and their seven lakes in Bulgaria. I visited the Rila Mountains in 2022, and when a new opportunity arose, I naturally didn't pass it up. We set off for the nearest border crossing, located 30 km from my town. After crossing the border, we headed toward Sofia, the capital, which is just 100 km away.We didn't go into Sofia; instead, we drove another 100 km and reached our destination. If the tour of Rila and its lakes is well-planned, it takes five hours, so it is possible to return home the same day.But this time, I also wanted to visit Rila Monastery. We took the cable car up to the mountain lodge, got a room, and set off after lunch.First, let me briefly describe what you are about to see.

🥈 Halk Hakydasy Memorial Complex. Ashgabat. by @grindle

It was only 4 miles from the hotel, but I got myself a taxi, too freaking hot, the mercury was riding high 90's, it was 4pm. walking not an option, standing outdoors awaiting its arrival was hot enough. The journey was uneventful, shame there was no air-con. I did not pay the driver, as this was a return trip I did not want him doing a runner and leaving me stranded, no mobile phone connectivity and who would I call anyways?

Believe you me this complex is nowhere near civilisation; as with the majority of these places in Ashgabat they seem to have been plonked in the middle of nowhere, though with a dual carriageway alongside it the road journey was smooth, but boring.

🥉 Annapurna Conservation Area by @pokharelbro7

The Annapurna Mountain region lies in the Annapurna Conservation Area of the Myagdi district in hilly Nepal. Today I am presenting some snaps of this beautiful journey I made this early Autumn.

The Annapurna region is famous for its rich biodiversity, traditional mountain villages, diverse cultures, and incredible trekking routes. Every corner has something unique to offer, from forests and rivers to breathtaking Himalayan views.
